[vlc] Re: WMV3 Error on VLC

[nisit chouhan]

Thanks Mark, is that a limitation of VLC then? In that it doesn't allow
Wmv3 files to play on mac machines. I think ive heard of many mac users
expierencing the same problems.

So what IS the solution for us Mac users out there? I heard theres a similar
Programme like VLC but better  - Do you or anyone else know what its called?

Thanks Nisit
